Comment 1 Joe Orton 2012-01-20 16:55:54 UTC

LSB compliance fixes were done in RHEL6 per bug 546252, which include this fix; we can backport some/all of those as required.

Comment 2 Aleš Mareček 2012-01-23 13:39:32 UTC

Hi Joe,
I know it was fixed in RHEL-6. I also know there are no plans for LSB in RHEL-5 but if it's possible it will be nice to have this function (these functions) fixed.
I wonder why PM didn't endorse LSB for RHEL-5, it's part of that distribution, and it's recommended to use it.
Thanks and Regards!
